Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 ounces Soft goat cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Peel and chop the Yukon Gold potatoes into evenly sized chunks to ensure even cooking.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.
Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, finely chop the fresh chives and set them aside.
Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit for 1-2 minutes to let excess moisture evaporate.
Heat the whole milk in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave until warm.
Add the warm milk, unsalted butter, and soft goat cheese to the potatoes. Mash the mixture using a potato masher or a hand mixer until creamy and smooth.
Stir in the chopped chives and season with black pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt, if needed.
Serve the mashed potatoes immediately, garnished with extra chives if desired.
